In February, Morgan and I read\u202f<\/span>The Wedding Date<\/a><\/em><\/strong> by Jasmine Guillory to celebrate Wedding Month. Below is a short synopsis and what I thought of the book!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alexa is trapped in an elevator with a sexy stranger who charms his way into her purse (by eating her snacks) and into attending a wedding with him that weekend as his fake girlfriend. When the two attend the wedding, they find that there is nothing fake about the way they feel about one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Alexa and Drew are afraid to admit their true feelings but still try long distance dating and find it hard to juggle work and their complicated pasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really liked this book; it tackled real issues in a respectful way, and I look forward to reading more in the series!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After loving our February read, I am so excited to get started with our March TV6 Book Club Pick! Below are our 4 options for March including our winning title! Feel free to check them out from Davenport Public Library!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
